A Little Spring in Winter






For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it all will your heart survive.
Rilke

Every year when the first frost hits, I usually dump out my herb pots and store them in the shed. This year, the lavender was still going strong, so I decided to see if they could last the winter. I've been waking up to lavender blooms every morning, which makes the weather predictions that much more bearable.

Hi! Nice Rilke. My husband and I are trying to keep our herbs alive, too. You're doing better than we are. Have a nice Monday. http://freshconventions.blogspot.com/
